    I found one on e-Bay for $42 with free shipping. However, in my current circumstances, I have more time available than disposable cash. There is enough materials, including casters, at my dad's shop to build 4 or 5 of these things. I will get with someone that has a 302 or 351 out of the car and take measurements from there. Thanks for responses.

    Terry; I have a 302 on a stand, if that will help. Tell me what measurements you need, and I can mail them to you.

    My dad reminded me that a 302 is sitting outside his shop. This is going to be my weekend inside project. After I make a couple for the SBF, I think I'll get a little goofy and make an adjustable one to accommodate 302, 390, 460, and make one for 250.
